and so once again, as in not for the first time, look you see, i put my apparently immortal soul in the greatest, perhaps most gravest, of danger for your entertainment. yes, indeed, i have once again crossed the line, i have dabbled in the dark arts, i have sought the forbidden knowledge. despite warnings not to do so, i have once again held summit with the ways of the magic 8 ball.
many of you will be quite surprised, and disappointed i suppose, that i am actually still alive after my first experimentation with the device of power. as recorded here in this post, it was a thrilling and dangerous experience, but also quite a draining one. sufficient time, i believe, has passed, and since i am recovered i have elected to dabble once more.
perhaps this is caution which need not be spoken, but for the sake of liability you are of course advised not to tread upon this path yourself. it is a road assailed by fear and danger. even i, who is according to science immortal (i have not died, so science cannot prove i am not immortal), face uncertain complexities in my simplistic existence by conjuring up answers to those questions which should not have been spoken.
moving on, then, and in the spirit of Christmas, i have elected to ask of the 8 Ball to share with us answers to questions posed by music. brace yourself, and read on only if you feel your soul shall not be in danger by knowing all that should not be known.
is there life on Mars?
LOOKS LIKE YES
should i stay or should i go?
SO IT SHALL BE
will i ever find what i am looking for?
UNLIKELY
can't you always get what you want?
NO DOUBT ABOUT IT
are there 50 ways to leave your lover?
ANSWER UNCLEAR ASK LATER
does everybody hurt, sometimes?
THE STARS SAY NO (yes, i was surprised by that answer too)
will you still love me tomorrow?
CANNOT FORETELL NOW
the times, are they a-changin'?
FOCUS AND ASK AGAIN
yes, looking at the last few answers, i think the warnings are there that i have drained all the energy from this most potent and powerful of devices. most probably all world leaders have such a means at their disposal to plot course for the world.
what? you want more. very well, i shall indulge. by this stage i am pretty much damned anyway, so asking two further questions surely shall not make me any further damned.
is this the real life, is this just fantasy?
CONSULT ME LATER
we don't need another hero?
SO IT SHALL BE
right, that will do. it would be inappropriate to challenge the magic 8 ball to answer any further questions when clearly it has no wish to do so at this stage.
as ever, i can but trust my valiant efforts here have been of some use, or interest, to someone.
be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
